Book Breaks with Marcus Alexander Gadson on Sedition: How America’s Constitutional Order Emerged from Violent Crisis

Date & Time: June 29, 2025, 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Sedition: How America's Constitutional Order Emerged from Violent Crisis [Book]

In the course of interpreting the US Constitution, state debates turned surprisingly rowdy, even violent. Sedition takes readers through six such instances in the nineteenth century: the Buckshot War, Dorr’s Rebellion, Bleeding Kansas, the Brooks-Baxter War, the overthrow of South Carolina’s government during Reconstruction, and the Wilmington Insurrection of 1898.
